One of the most influential and creative directors of our time (I’m so indie), Michel Gondry (“Eternal Sunshine,” “Be Kind Rewind”), has been tapped to direct the big-budget superhero action comedy “Green Hornet.”

Seth Rogen, who will play the role of Britt Reid in the remake, talked to MTV this morning about snagging Gondry for the film, and the fact that he pulled it off mostly on his own.

“I’ve actually been e-mailing with him for a really long time, because he was involved with the project a long time ago,” Seth explained. “With the permission of nobody, I sent him our script … to get his input and ideally convince the studio to meet with him. They were skeptical of … I wouldn’t say his ability to make a giant budget studio movie, but his willingness to make a giant budget studio movie. But he loved the script, he totally got it, which a lot of [potential directors] just didn’t.”

Wow, most of the time those stories end in lawsuits, Seth! Typically, I think superhero movies are amazing all by themselves, but with the Michel Gondry on board, this puppy is going to be the Twizzlers! Don’t believe me?

In 1993 Michel Gondry joined forces with the now infamous BjÃ¶rk to film the first of many videos for her. The Icelandic singer gave him a ring after seeing some of his other videos, including one for Oui Oui, his former band. After some exchanging of ideas, they created her unforgettable solo debut, “Human Behaviour.”

Daft Punk – “Around The World”

“Around the World” was Gondry’s first shot at bringing organized dancing to his music videos. He told director-file.com “I was sick to see choreography being mistreated in videos like filler with fast cutting and fast editing, really shallow. I don’t think choreography should be shot in close-ups.” The sequence, initially developed by Gondry, was further expanded and streamlined by choreographer Blanca Li. Costumes for the video were designed by Florence Fontaine, the mother of Gondry’s son.

Chemical Brothers – “Star Guitar”

This video features what looks like a continuous shot filmed from the window of a speeding train passing through towns and countryside. However, the buildings and objects passing by appear exactly in time with the various beats and musical elements of the track — that’s right! Gondry actually plotted out the synchronization of the song on graph paper before creating the video, eventually “modeling” the scenery with oranges, forks, tapes, books, glasses and tennis shoes.

Kylie Minogue – “Come Into My World”

“Come into My World” was the fourth and final single from Kylie Minogue’s 2001 album, “Fever.” Gondry updated a concept that he had used in Neneh Cherry’s ‘Feel It’ music video a while back. The video also bears similarities to a past Kylie video, “‘Did It Again’“, where there were four Minogues. It took fifteen days to complete the special effects, including the amazing multiple-Minogues.
